Eric Dumazet a3893637e1 tcp: do not force quickack when receiving out-of-order packets
As explained in commit 9f9843a751 ("tcp: properly handle stretch
acks in slow start"), TCP stacks have to consider how many packets
are acknowledged in one single ACK, because of GRO, but also
because of ACK compression or losses.

We plan to add SACK compression in the following patch, we
must therefore not call tcp_enter_quickack_mode()

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
